Whew, based on the subject, I thought you were going to write "how do I
turn off the MR light?", which would have gotten you many unpleasant
responses. Luckily, you didn't. =)

No. The MRL is based on mileage relative to the last time it was reset.
(As far as I have seen, there are no "absolute" miles that it will turn
on.) In my 2001 Civic, it starts blinking about 8000 miles since last
reset, then constant at about 10,000 miles. But remember, it is
relative mileage, so if you reset it at 18,000 last time, it makes
sense that it is starting to blink at 26,000.
